The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food just published a new report from the Nile Basin setting out ways to enhance rainwater management (RWM) development processes. In Ethiopia, considerable potential exists to enhance food production and rural livelihoods through better rainwater management – interventions which enable smallholder farmers to [...]
Project title: Socioeconomic and technical considerations to mitigate land and water degradation in the Peruvian Andes (PN70) Introduction Land and water degradation undermine agricultural productivity, contribute to high levels of poverty and food insecurity, and cause major problems for downstream users of land and water resources in the rural areas [...]
Project title: Yellow River Basin: Living with scarcity (PN61) Introduction In the Yellow River Basin (YRB), water pollution, global warming, environmental water needs, and continuing growth of industrial and municipal water demand is worsening the ongoing problem of water scarcity. While poverty in the basin has declined rapidly over the [...]
Project title: Food and water security under global change: Developing adaptive capacity with a focus on rural Africa (PN53) Introduction Global change and climate-related risk will impact food and water security in significant and highly uncertain ways, particularly for developing countries with high poverty levels and weak adaptive capacity. It [...]
Project title: Nile Basin livestock water productivity (PN37) Introduction Livestock are particularly important in the Nile River Basin where domestic animals outnumber people and their demand for feed was thought to exceed the amount of food required by people. In the two largest Nile countries, Sudan and Ethiopia, animal products [...]
Project title: Linking community-based water and forest management for sustainable livelihoods of the poor in fragile upper catchments of the Indus-Ganges Basin (PN23) Introduction In marginal upper catchments of the Nepal and Indian Himalayas, Poor rural women and men face critical food security and livelihoods challenges. Restricted access to often [...]
Project title: The challenge of integrated water resource management for improved rural livelihoods: Managing risk, mitigating drought and improving water productivity in the water scarce Limpopo Basin (PN17) Introduction Agricultural production in the Limpopo Basin is constrained by poor soil fertility, lack of access to water resources and low infrastructure [...]
Project title: Quesungual Slash and Mulch Agroforestry System (QSMAS): Improving crop water productivity, food security and resource quality in the sub-humid tropics (PN15) Introduction Most agricultural areas especially on hillside slopes in the sub-humid tropics are facing increasingly frequent seasonal water scarcity and dry spells from a combination of inadequate [...]
Project title: Conservation agriculture for the dry-land areas of the Yellow River Basin: Increasing the productivity, sustainability, equity and water use efficiency of dry-land agriculture, while protecting downstream water users (PN12) Introduction In China’s Yellow River Basin, soil erosion coupled with rapidly growing demand from agriculture, domestic and industrial uses [...]
Project title: Managing water and land resources for sustainable livelihoods at the interface between fresh and saline water environments in Vietnam and Bangladesh (PN10) Introduction Millions of people living in the tidal ecosystem in South and Southeast Asia are among the poorest and most food-insecure because agricultural production is hindered [...]
